Great music video for Darkness, what I would do for someone to show that at congress one day.

They said my last album I sounded bitter
No, I sound like a spitter
Who ninety percent of
These hypocrites are tryna get rid of
But why would I get a chip on my shoulder?
I was considered, one time, as the illest
Bitch, I'm still as fly as your zipper
True, I just get richer
But if it was ever all about skrilla
Then I woulda quit a long motherf**king time ago
Bitch, shut the f**k up
I should go say that s**t to Tech N9ne or to Jigga
Nobody said s**t about 2 Chainz as long as he's been here, s**t
No wonder you're mad, now I'm
Looking at them plaques, count 'em
I'm LL Cool J, Bigger and Deffer, that's how come
I sell like four mil' when I put out a bad album
Revival flopped, came back and I scared the crap out 'em
But Rolling Stone stars, I get two and a half outta
Five, and I'll laugh out loud
'Cause that's what they gave BAD back in the day
Which actually made me not feel as bad now, 'cause
If it happened to James
It can happen to Shady
They do the same s**t to Brady
More people hate me than love me
This game will make you go crazy
'Bout to go for B-R-O-K-E
I was the G, the O-A-T
Once I was played in rotation
At every radio station
They said I'm lyrically amazing
But I have nothing to say
But then when I put out Revival and I had something to say
They said that they hated the awake me
I lose the rage, I'm too tame
I get it back, they say I'm too angry
I need to get me some Dre beats
No, I should hook up with Tay Keith
Fans keep on pulling me one way
Haters pull me in another
Got more hooks in me than Swae Lee
'Bout to pick up some weights and lift 'til my tattoo of Hailie's face stretches
They said I'm just a whiner, I sound like a baby
I dish it out but can't take it
But I take it, dish it back out
And they get all bent out of shape
This s**t's almost comical
Wait, and I meant no disrespect
I wasn't dissin' Tech, that was not a shot at 2 Chainz or to Jay-Z
They probably feel the same way because lately
Instead of us being credited for longevity
And being able to keep it up for this long at this level, we
Get told we'll never be what we were
Bitch, if I was as half as good as I was
I'm still twice as good as you'll ever be
Only way that you're ahead of me's alphabetically
'Cause if you diss me I'm coming after you like the letter V
Killing everything, play this tune, it's your eulogy

It's your funeral, prepare to die

This is music for you to be murdered by

That is how you start an album

[Wave.]

Em might be dicking on the low. I'm here for it.

[think pink.]

His chart dominance is nuts. We’ve never seen it with an artist his age.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

[think pink.]

Premonition (Intro)
Unaccommodating
You Gon' Learn
In Too Deep
Godzilla
Darkness
Yah Yah
Marsh
Never Love Again
Lock It Up
Farewell
No Regrets
I Will

This right here would've been the perfect tracklist. But I'm nit picking. This is a really good album. It reminds me of "The Eminem Show".

[Active Aggressive]

#HotTake. I THINK I like this better than Revival and MMLP2 and anything is better than Recovery, which is the only album of his I NEVER revisit. It was also the first time I didn't love a first single of his. He needs to work on his quality control. That's what has plagued most of his post Eminem Show output. While I still think he is the greatest rapper alive, sometimes his albums frustrate me. This held my attention for sure though. I give it a B+

1. Darkness (extremely well-executed)
2. Premonition (Intro)
3. Unaccomodating
4. No Ragrets
5. Yah Yah
6. Little Engine (FIREEEEE...Dre & Co. did a fantastic job. That "Little Engine GO!" is sooo Logic, though)
7. Lock It Up
8. I Will
9. Never Love Again (shoulda got X-Tina or Demi on it)
10. You Gon' Learn
11. Godzilla
12. Those Kinda Nights (a better Farewell and has an actual decent singer on the hook...I think Farewell would make a better single though)
13. Farewell (would have been better with a singer on the hook, but this is good for radio)

#NotAFan:
14. Marsh (beat is sloppy and cheap)
15. Leaving Heaven
16. In Too Deep(see Marsh)
17. Stepdad (nope)

[Active Aggressive]

Little Engine, I'm so sorry, sweetie. I underranked you. Same with You Gon' Learn. I---

Anyway, I have spent a LOT of time with this and I will now say it is right behind his top 3 (1. Marshall Mathers LP, 2. The Eminem Show, and 3. The Slim Shady LP). At first, I thought maybe it would be behind Encore but...nope. That was when he started to go off the rails and even THEN, he STILL remained the #GOAT. But, yeah, this album has the most replay value and songs that I find myself humming or wanting to hear them randomly. The last several albums have had songs that were so strong that I was willing to overlook the filler around it, but this album, track for track, is the best he has done since his prime. I don't know what he tapped into, but if he is going to continue rapping, he would be wise to continue this formula. At least he can let up off the critics' necks next album.

1. Darkness
2. No Ragrets
3. Little Engine
4. Unaccomodating
5. You Gon' Learn
6. Premonition (Intro)
7. Yah Yah
8. Lock It Up
9. Godzilla
10. Leaving Heaven
11. I Will
12. Never Love Again
13. Those Kinda Nights
14 Farewell
15. Marsh
16. In Too Deep
17. Stepdad

[SHOOTER]

Random but he finally got his chance to perform Lose Yourself at the Oscars.

[think pink.]

CHILLS! What a legend.

[Juan Carlos]

"Lose Yourself" is still iconic to date. One of Eminem's best songs for me in my opinion.

That album is trash, sis, including Not Afraid. Mostly bland filler.

Love The Way You Lie? 

[Choco]

Why drag Recovery when Relapse is right there? (And Revival too lbh).

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Right?

Though Revival isn’t a bad album by any means I don’t think. But recovery though, it has No Love, and the song with Pink, and the other gems scattered throughout. I haven’t listened to it in ages and now I want to.

I’d say Relapse is the only album I never need to go back to. All the others have stuff to offer.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

His last 6 albums imo:

Recovery > Music To Be Murdered By > Kamikaze > The Marshall Mathers LP 2 > > > Relapse > Revival

[Active Aggressive]

Recovery had the space song, 25 to Life, Cinderella Man, other songs I cannot recall. SO much filler and was the start of him and all these pop crossovers he keeps trying to do. Revival did it better. On the newest album, the only one he has is Ed Sheeran and he was smart to keep it as a song recalling his D12 days, so it's tolerable. Love The Way You Lie is overrated. Relapse was at least dark and clever. I definitely liked it at the time, even if I don't listen to it now.

[jumpb4uthink]

Watching the performance last night, Loose Yourself does not sound dated at all. The audience loved it and sang along. For me it was the highlight. Classic.
